good morning, america, breaking overnight, a toxic nightmare at the mall. killer fumes that left a restaurant manager dead and sent dozens of others to the hospital. >> he just started telling everybody to get out. >> and the scramble to save lives as emergency responders themselves are overcome. the takedown, the world's top drug lord is captured. he used submarines, catapults and a vast network of tunnels to send products to america. how this ruthless killer was captured after 13 years on the run without one shot fired. yellow alert. could the color we associate with sunshine and bananas be dangerous? a new study with the urgent warning about the chemicals that go into some of the products we use every day.

and down to the wire. last minute excitement at the winter games. look at the mishap on the bobsled track. >> this is the violent nature of bobsledding. >> this morning, america races for the top spot in the overall medal count with the closing ceremony just hours away. you notice, they're warning this morning about the color yellow, and yet we have a huge yellow sign here, and our script this morning, they've given to us on yellow paper. >> we are fearless. >> our producers are not worried about our immune systems. good morning, everybody. also coming up this morning, the return of the dreaded polar plunge. >> where's the countdown to spring clock? >> it's frozen. >> we had a bit of a thaw. it hit 64 degrees in washington, d.c. on saturday, if you can

believe that. but bad news, get ready for another polar plunge into the northeast and the midwest. how bad will it be? we'll bring you that forecast coming up. >> that's in a few minutes. we're going to start here with the breaking news this morning. a silent killer at an upscale mall. the manager of this restaurant is dead, and dozens sent to the hospital, including some of the first responders who arrived to help people. officials believe this is a case of carbon monoxide poisoning. and we are on the scene in huntington station, new york. >> reporter: good morning. it happened here at the legal seafoods at this mall. it happened just as the restaurant was going to see its dinner crowd, at 6:00 p.m. and when first responders arrived, they became ill, overcome by a colorless, odorless poison. this morning, a new york

restaurant's heating equipment is believed to be the cause of a carbon monoxide leak that killed one and injured 26 others, according to police. >> they were trying to get everybody out as fast as they could. >> reporter: officials say legal seafoods and two nearby busy restaurants were evacuated when a worker had fallen and they began to feel ill and light-headed. >> the original call was a woman had fallen and had a head injury as a result of the carbon monoxide. >> reporter: they found the manager unconscious in the basement. he was pronounced dead at the hospital. >> there were ambulances everywhere. >> reporter: seven rescue workers were among those treated. but other survivors are staff members. the leak confined to the basement. >> it does not appear at the moment to have made it into the area of the restaurant where the customers were. >> reporter: legal seafoods declined to comment, but overnight, the company posted

this message on its twitter account. we are profoundly saddened to learn of the tragic death of our general manager, steve nelson. our thoughts and prayers are with his family. and this morning, there's a sign here on the door of legal seafoods declaring the building condemned and closed to the public. and most of those who got sick were treated at area hospitals and have been released. >> mara, thank you. carbon monoxide poisoning, dr. rich besser. abc's health editor. good morning. are cases of mass poisonings like this rare? >> they are rare. they've been reported. we have seen them malls, even in churches, even in a hockey rink. it happens with machine burning fuel. gasoline, propane, most likely in the home. when people are using generators, when the power goes out. but 15,000 people go to the er and lots die. >> what are the signs to look for?

>> you have to be careful. using a detector is the way to go. it's colorless, tasteless, odorless, doesn't irritate. the symptoms can feel like the flu. you can have headache, muscle ache, body snake, nausea, dizziness. but once it builds up to very dangerous levels, mental confusion, vomiting, loss of muscle coordination and death. detecting it is critical. because once these things come on, it's often too late. if they get to the e.r. right away, they give you oxygen and it saves your life. >> in terms of prevention, is the detector the primary thing, or are there other things? >> the detector is the way to go. but here's the things. many times buildings will put them up on the ceiling. carbon monoxide is heavier than air. you want to plug it in down low. that way it detects as it starts to build up. on the ceiling, by the time it reaches that level, it could be too late. >> useful information. we appreciate it. >> silent killer. thanks. turning now to the other breaking story overnight, the capture of one of the most

wanted criminal on the planet who headed the most powerful drug cartel in the world. joaquin guzman was captured. end as a 13-year long manhunt. his cartel is responsible for nearly a quarter of all illegal drugs entering the u.s. through mexico. in fact the city of chicago named him the first public enemy number one since al capone. "forbes" ranked guzman 66th most powerman and his annual revenues were $3 billion. we have more on elchapo now in custody. needless to say, a huge capture. >> yes, it was. good morning, bianna. this man was a true mastermind and lethal. sources tell us he's responsible for more dead americans than osama bin laden. the murderous criminal known as el chapo, or shorty, one of the most wanted men in the world, in handcuff, surrounded by mexican

paramilitary officers. >> he is like the osama bin laden of drug trafficking. >> reporter: a kingpin so rich, he made the "forbes" magazine's billionaire's list. a violent criminal so legendary -- ♪ >> reporter: -- he's been separated in mexico in music and videos. ♪ >> reporter: guzman, the leader of the drug cartel, finally back in custody after 13 years on the run since bribing his way out of prison. his cartel is thought to be responsible for a quarter of the drugs entering the u.s., marijuana, cocaine, heroin. thens of thousands may have died in the u.s. and mexico because of him, through overdoses, and associated murders. for more years, u.s. officials have been chasing down leads and arrest ing associates along the way. they were able to narrow down his location in mexico. but he was able to escape the raid, leaving in an underground tunnel and using the staircase to evade police. but the trail stayed hot.

authorities discovered he was at this mexican hotel saturday morning. univision conducted a year-long investigation into his life. the direct impact on america, huge. el chapo oversaw one of the networks of cartels, shipping drugs by hundreds of tons into the u.s. illegal corporations created in smuggling by submarine, boat, tunnel, any means necessary. his arrest may allow associates to step in. >> the organization can survive and continue the control and operations. >> reporter: the security for el chapo is likely to be extraordinary. last time he escaped prison in a laundry basket. >> after 13 years, behind bars. and from fusion, the chief investigator reporter, mariana van zeller, who has covered

guzman exclusively. good morning, thank you for coming in. >> thank you so much for coming in. >> reporter: good morning bianna. >> el chapo is thought to be responsible for the deaths of thousands in mexico, but also in the u.s. can you tell us about the americans he killed? >> absolutely. when you see cocaine, methamphetamine, heroin, all of these dangerous drugs, it is highly probably that they're somehow directly or indirectly connected to el chapo. the city of chicago alone, 80% of the drugs there in chicago have been supplied by el chapo. and you have dangerous gangs like the latin kings, and others that are responsible for numerous deaths and both of which have their drugs provided by el chapo. that's why he's the osama bin laden of the drug trade. >> you mentioned the city of chicago. third largest city in the u.s. what does his arrest mean to the drug trade in chicago? >> it's very interesting. because you have other cartels that will try to take some of that turf, some of those roots into the united states away from the sinloa cartel.

however, it is believed to have been run by two of the commanders for some time now without direct sort of input from el chapo. with el chapo, you never know. he was able to escape from prison about 13 years ago, and you never know what's going to happen next with him. >> and obviously with him jailed, there's a power struggle to succeed him. who are the names you are looking at right now? >> the two sub commanders that i just mentioned have been sort of running the operation. it's believed that el maya is going to take control over the cartel. >> thank you so much for joining us this morning. this man had a third grade education, one of the most powerful people in the world. >> extraordinary. him taken with no shots being fired. and now to the breathtaking developments in ukraine. the president vanished and citizens raided his compound, a private zoo, fancy car, a hot tub and a personal golf course. the question is what comes next in this country and what does it all mean for america?

hamish mcdonald is in kiev. good morning. >> reporter: dan, effectively, the president has gone missing, no one knows where he is. he was captured trying to leave the country on an airplane, calling this a coup. he is now being formally replaced. the speaker of the parliament will be in that position now. it doesn't matter where you go in this country, it's obvious that the regime has changed. the opulence has shocked so many. a day after the abandoned presidential retreat, chandeliers, luxury cars, even a zoo. >> i can't believe that such a place can exist in ukraine. >> reporter: protesters were busy taking full control of the capital, while the parliament voted to impeach the president, and came this transfer of power was calm, and orderly. citizen militias stand guard outside the government buildings, preventing chaos.

ukraine's former prime minister was released from jail where she had been held for two and a half years. it is incredible to think that yulia tymoshenko was in prison just hours ago. she's being welcomed back to the capital by an adoring crowd. they know she is no saint, but they hear her call to keep pushing for reforms. you have removed this cancer from this country, she tells them. parliament also voted to hold fresh elections in may this year. we have seen what happened the last years. >> reporter: having fled the capital, president yanukovych refused to accepts dismissal. comparing this change of regime to the nazis taking power. statues of lenin stand, as show symbols of russia's influence, but now they are trumbling. and there were violent clashes. they are celebrating now, but there are still big dangers

ahead. well, dan and bianna, it's peaceful in the square this morning. the orthodox priests are leading the prayers and the hymns. but internationally, there's a war of words between the united states and russia. john kerry said they support what is happening here, russia is very angry. there is a lot at stake here. >> thank you. and for more on the fast-moving developments from ukraine. let's bring in chief global affairs correspondent, martha raddatz. >> martha is filling in for george on abc's "this week" this morning. martha, good morning to you. as americans sit at home on this sunday morning and drink their coffee, the question is, as we watch these events unfold in ukraine, what does it mean for us and our security? >> it really does mean a lot, dan. you look at that country and where it's located, and as hamish said, the divide. between that country. some going towards the west, some going towards russia. and that creates enormous tension between the u.s. and russia.

things were getting a little better between the u.s. and russia, but i think you'll take a big step back despite the words you're hearing from the white house and secretary kerry. >> and martha, the russian president putin had a lot riding on these olympics but it's pretty fair to say this could be his biggest challenge as president. >> i think this will be his biggest challenge going forward. and he will focus on this like a laser. of course, he wanted the olympics to take the spotlight. but in ukraine, he talked to president obama during that crisis, and he is going to focus on it very much in the coming days. >> he left sochi to go back to moscow and deal with this. martha, thank you so much. and martha will have the latest on the crisis in ukraine, plus the powerhouse "roundtable" later this morning on abc's "this week." >> a lot of other stories breaking overnight. for that we turn to ron claiborne. >> good morning. we begin with this breaking news. this involving an american soldier held in afghanistan for nearly five years. bo bergdahl was last seen in a

individualee released in december by his captors. taliban is suspending talks about exchanging him for five prisoners at guantanamo. a spokesperson blames the current political situation in afghanistan for the suspension of those negotiations. this had been considered the best chance of securing his freedom since his capture in 2009. it's believed he's being held in the border region between afghanistan and pakistan. and now to venezuela where fires were set where anti-government protesters clashed with police during violent demonstrations. both sides of the nation's bitter political divide held massive rallies in the capital. behind the burning barricades, protesters threw rocks at police who appeared to be outnumbered. it has president nicolas maduro under pressure with a militant opposition movement. and in georgia, three people were killed in a crash of a small plane. witnesses at the la grange, georgia airport said the aircraft was apparently trying

to avoid a glider when it stalled and nose-dived. the ntsb is investigating that crash. and michael sam, the university of missouri defensive lineman, poised to become the first openly gay pro football player, at the nfl combine talked about how he would react with a teammate. >> if he wants to call me a name, i will have a conversation with him. >> and he will learn his fate when the nfl draft takes place in may. and here's a new government policy probably everyone, well at least every american can agree on, a new rule requiring the pentagon to buy american flags made entirely in america. before, some of the flag material such as ink and fabric were allowed to come from foreign markets. in case you're wondering, the new rule does not apply to flag

poles or flag accessories. and finally, the famous, and depending on your perspective, infamous fork at the pizza gate scandal in new york city. it went on the auction block. you may remember, that mayor bill de blasio was ridiculed by some people after being seen eating pizza with a fork. in new york city, that is a definite no-no. after six bids, the fork he used was sold to an anonymous buyer for 2500 bucks. all that dough will benefit a charity created after 9/11 that helps first responders and wounded soldiers. and, by the way, if you're wondering that fork that bianna uses to eat her pizza, it sold at auction for $14. >> that was sara. >> that was me. >> and it went for $16, so let's not bring it down. thank you. >> he's had a rough start. >> he really has, the snow, and the pizza. >> and the potholes. >> important historical documents below the liberty bell, the shroud of turin and the fork. >> important stuff. thank you, ron.

>> and now to the final day of the winter olympics. the closing ceremonies just hours away. >> in the medal count, russia solidly out in front. we are in second place, followed by norway, canada, and the netherlands. and abc's matt gutman is in sochi, where he's been for several weeks now, tracking all of the action at our "gma" olympics desk. matt, good to see you there once again. good morning, sir. >> thanks, good morning. as you mentioned the countdown is on. just a few hours left until an unforgettable winter olympics officially comes to a close. russians, as you mentioned, triumphing on the medal table. but it has been a painful couple of hours for the usa. the u.s. was hoping to leave sochi on a high note despite a day packed with disappointment. with their hopes for gold already dashed, u.s. men's hockey team planning to head home with the consolation prize, the bronze medal around their necks. but after a scoreless first period, finland dominated a seemingly absent team usa.

final score, 5-0. >> and they get the bronze. >> reporter: and on the bobsled track, after a scare, canadian sled tripping over, dragging across the ice, headdown. >> if they stay in the sled, they'll be okay. >> reporter: the first races in four-men bobsled so close, they made olympic history. the time separating the top four finishers, .17. just hours ago, usa's steve holcomb brought home the bronze, he brought gold in vancouver in 2010. it was bobsled competitor, johnny quinn, world famous for breaking down sochi bathroom doors wasn't able to help his team break into the top ten. and the biggest event, the

closing ceremony. julie chu, still fresh off the heartbreaking loss to canada is getting a special role. you go from a painful loss to being selected as the flag bearer. >> yeah. i think i'm still in shock over that, too. it's a testament to my teammates. i'm definitely a product of their love, their support. >> reporter: so, guys, the closing ceremony is coming up, as you know, it will be heavy on russian history. there probably will be about 10,000 performers in very garish costumes. and the athletes as well. in the spirit of the games, i thought that we'd join them. we designed our own outfits replete with flags. mr. vladimir putin is probably very, very happy today. i congratulate him and salute him and all of the rugs. what do you think? >> matt, you look -- [ speaking russian ] as they say in russian. >> we need sub titles for you.

>> maybe turn it to get the soviet pin to the other side. >> talk about pageant of the strange. sorry, matt. #sochiprops. >> have a safe trip home, matt. >> all right, well back here at home. we're bracing for the return of the polar plunge. >> we need sweatshirts. >> yes, we do. today's okay. not so great next week or the rest of the week. >> bianna, that's right. i think many of us will want to sport those russian hats that matt has been showing us the last couple of days. boston, a decent day. we'll squeeze out one more good day. temperatures in the upper 40s. look at boston yesterday. we had folks out running, enjoying the weather. shorts, maybe even flip-flops were the wardrobe of choice. still a lot of snow on the ground there. as you would expect, this is not going to last. take a look at this. this front will move through. pittsburgh, syracuse from the 30s into the 20s and teens, and along the eastern seaboard,
